Shaw is a monster. When he came to our gym this summer, he pulled 900 lbs. without much of a struggle. Considering you can probably count the number of 900+ lb. raw (no deadlift suit) on two hands and have fingers left over, he makes it look easy and bets are on that he'll likely be the first to do 1000 lbs. without any assistance gear if he stays injury-free for the next few years.

The hummer tire deadlift is also quite impressive, but to note, the shortened ROM due to the tires definitely lets most people pull at least 100 lbs. over their conventional deadlift, as it's similar to doing a pull in the rack from a low pin setting. Not to take anything away from it, of course, just stating why the weight he did for that one was considerably higher than his other clips

Benedikt Magnusson actually pulled 1015 in just a belt about three years ago at Clash of the Titans. One of the most impressive feats of strength ever, IMO.

Correct, Benni did pull 1015, just that it doesn't hold as the "official" record as it wasn't at a sanctioned meet and sadly, the meet director who was there has a reputation for possibly using weights that aren't a heavy as they read (could possibly still be rumor, but it has been circulating for a few years now among many in powerlifting).

Regardless, Benni is by far one of the strongest out there, but I completely neglected to mention Andy Bolton's amazing 1008 lb. pull that may well hold as the world record for a very long time. Though, Coan's 901 pull @ 220 lbs. ranks as my favorite, you can't go wrong with DL that's over 4x bodyweight!

Benni's 1015/461 kg is respected as THE deadlift WR among powerlifters pretty much everywhere.
With those millions of federations, non-affiliated comps etc out there you just have to count whatever people do that gets passed in those meets.
Otherwise you'll end up having a lot of huge numbers not being accepted as WR despite being totally legit.
